Dear Climbers, My name is Nikolai. I live in Moscow and work as a mountain guide. I organize climbing by myself, with a tourcompany "Travel Russia" and for an American Company "Mountain Travel" since 1990 and we can use this program.

RUSSIA: CLIMB MT. ELBRUS. Europe's highest mountain, Mt. Elbrus (18,481' / 5642m) is located in the heart of the Caucasus Mountains in Russia. It is one of the famous "Seven Summits".....the highest peaks on each of the seven continents. Little know outside of eastern Europe, the peaks, glaciers and valleys of the Caucasus are beautiful as the Swiss Alps.

Land cost -from $600 to $1200 (9-12) days
